The first cause the group has taken up is convincing Apple to put time-limited trials in the App Store.

This is why it is so important for every organization to develop an approach to hiring cloud services that includes a clear definition of what is expected—from both sides of the agreement.

"You might expect that more money would be a top factor for job seekers when considering whether to move for a job, but it's not. Our research shows companies with good culture and employees who love what they do ultimately have a leg-up when it comes to attracting the best talent from across the country," Chamberlain said in the release. "This means employers must ramp-up their recruiting efforts for groups least likely to move - such as women or more senior workers - and have either excellent culture or strong pay or benefits offerings."

President Donald Trump and White House staffers waded into the Laurel or Yanny minefield with a humorous video, but good luck turning this into a political debate. Qualtrics found 53 percent of Democrats heard Laurel while 51 percent of Republicans heard Yanny. That isn't significant enough to argue about.

Andrea Romano (the producer) went on the record saying the reason this was cancelled is because the toys didn't sell. A bit of animation business info: When cartoons are expensive, they are subsidized by licensing. If toys don't sell, that money gets pulled and shows get the ax.

This one might sound strange, since Apple has been more focused on creating a device for audiophiles than either of its rivals. Most reviews praised the HomePod for how good it sounds. And the speaker’s ability to calibrate sound for whichever room it’s in is nothing short of remarkable. So how, then, could Apple do more to make HomePod the unequivocal choice for any serious music fans?

That's all there is to adding another layer of privacy to the Firefox browser. I highly recommend making use of this extension, especially if you depend upon social networking to help spread the word of your business or services. The last thing you want is to allow those sites to easily track your web footprint. With the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension, you gain a bit of added privacy while also enabling you to use multiple accounts for any site you use.

How many logins and passwords do you have? If the answer is more than one, then ask yourself how many accounts use the same password? If that answer isn’t zero, you need Dashlane. Reused and weak passwords are one of the biggest vulnerabilities on the modern web, but remembering a bunch of unique and complex passwords is nearly impossible.

Robots are coming. Are they overlords or friendly companions designed to help us perform the mundane tasks of our respective days? Perhaps it’s both. Whatever the purpose, they’re no longer part of some vague future we can’t quite fathom. They’re here now, and we got to meet a few of them at TC Sessions: Robotics at UC Berkeley.
